  • The other video about the "five dancers" is on SS Episode 0815 on Wiki. There is a small picture from the skit but no video. Hopefully someone will post it. I have been looking for that video forever.

  • You're right. Thanks for the info. I wish I could see that too.

  • Did they really talk about it on muppet wiki? If so can someone give me the link please?

  • Looks like the last dancer is standing on the trapdoor when it opens on her instead of dancer three who "hops" into her trapdoor. I don't think it's possible to be totally prepared for the floor to drop out under your feet, especially if they dropped her even a split second before she is expecting it. They may have done this considering she went down in the middle of her last word. It made for a great facial reaction on that pretty face.

  • I believe this subtraction skit was incorporated into Oscar and Telly's "Sneak Peek Preview" sketches where they would spoof Siskel and Ebert. They would come into a movie theater, watch a short clip and re-act. If I remember correctly, Telly thought the ladies were adorable but was sad at the end when the girls were all gone. Of course, that was Oscar's favorite part.

    I'm guessing this might be the variation, or possible third, sketch you were thinking of?

  • @thezaylady I especially felt bad for the 4th girl: the way the last girl sort of gets rid of her with the "Me?" "You!"

  • @Sharptooth100 Ya but i bet they can't tap dance together.

  • I remember it now. nearly forgotten for years.

  • If they did a remake of the 5 dancing women, they would use Carmen Electra; Kirsten Dunst; Natalie Portman; Jessica Biel and Lindsay Lohan.

  • This one worried me as a kid. I didn't like how all the pretty ladies were removed one by one. I thought that each of them landed somewhere alone in the scary darkness. I was also irritated that they continued to smile and sing after someone would disappear like they didn't care.

    Funny how kids would interpret things that adults would see as benign.

  • Does anyone know if this is available on DVD anywhere and if so what DVD is it?!

  • #1.) How did she echo "one" at the very end?

    #2.) What was the cartoon about at 0:48? The 2 kids look VERY familiar!

  • I REMEMBER THIS

  • After reading on Muppet Wiki when 0815, I was just 2 days old! *sniff* how time flies!

  • Where are these dancers today?
